Abstract

We present an anisotropic Laplace test statistic for software reliability growth enhancement. The proposed approach is defined as a nonlinear function of the Laplace trend test using redescending stabilization functions. The goal of stabilization functions is to deal with the problem of increasing reliability growth by taking into account the absence of activity in the system. Experimental results with real software failure data illustrate the effectiveness and the much improved performance of the proposed method in software reliability.
